As queen of the carpool, cruise control is the only control you've had for a long time.

Instead of kicking back, your back is constantly being kicked.

With the endless traffic, walnut-sized bladders and snack-mom politics,

nobody is more eager to know the answer to the constant chorus of,

Are we there yet?

Sounds like it's time for your victory lap, in Las Vegas.

You can bring your kids to Vegas, but why would you?

I know now what I want to say in my intro for my podcast.

I'm going to start with a warning to other creatives.

Create like it's your last podcast, last graphic, last painting, last blog posts.

There are so many forces out there that want us to be bland.

And that is not possible with this flow.

I have too many thoughts about celebrating us, reading what I want to read,

pointing out donkeys, what links us together and shouldn't tear us apart.

I also give you bonus content through 10th Rose Bar on my Patreon.

And if you become a melanated nerd, I also will share content about getting the real tea on reality TV.

Join me in this episode of 10th Rose reading for the wow ride.

And thank you for listening.
